I don't no why they even claim to be on at nite...I can't here them in town
 
Their nighttime signal doesn't have any deep nulls but, at 500 watts, doesn't get out much past the central and near-north sides of the city either.

The RadioLocator coverage maps are a bit generous with their coverage radii, but the patterns are accurate.

It don't matter anyway. At night, ErrAmericaPhoenix listeners are watching Peter, Paul & Mary specials on Ch 8!
 
Or, listening to the streaming audio, as AAR is one of the highest-rated internet servers.

Or, listening to XM Channel 167, which carries the entire AAR slate.

Proof positive: the AM band is dead, and the FM band following close behind. 50 percent of America is NOT red state Rush Limbaugh dittoheads.

By not serving people who want talk radio from their side of the spectrum, the radio indsutry is collectively shooting itself in the foot.

AM radio in Phoenix is already the bastion of the Christian jihadists and their secular brethern. Parking lot, indeed.

PS to Darkbar: The Kiva Theater management suggests you take your patronage to the Portofino if you are going to continue to leave a sticky mess on the seat backs.
 
80 days and counting 'til Sports Parking Lot 6~twenty! Nurse Jeff and I really dig those 9am Suns games on weekday mornings. Sure glad they crossed the border and landed on FM..we can only imagine what that would sound like on AM! Bienvenidos a TMISU.

;D KSL 12~60 :eek: KSL 12~60 :D KSL 12~60
 
Cheer up, Darkbar.

Your Wet Dream 550 will soon have the parking lot all to itself.

Then maybe you can get a job there!
 
And leave Buckeye? No way!

Back to topic: whatcha expect for .5kw and a directional array at night? This might explain why Gumpdusky doesn't fire up that .052kw night authorization in the lumberyard. Drivin' by that stick, Nurse Jeff and I are convinced there's more revenue being generated from tower leases than on the mighty 14~forty! Sure sucks to be a parking lot.

;D SPL 6~twenty ;D SPL 6~twenty ;D SPL 6~twenty ;D SPL 6~twenty What would TAZ do? ???
 
Being a smart guy, he probably would have gone FM 10 years ago.
 
Go ahead and ask: In 1996 would you have sacrificed K-Lite so KT'R could be on FM and make 6~twenty a sports parking lot?

Nurse Jeff and I'll pay for the postage: [email protected]
 
I know you (and you identity) are locked in the 90s.

But 2006 ain't 1996, and 98.7 ain't 92.3.

And I ain't got no time - midterms. Why don't you e-mail him to settle the bet?

Loser buys the popcorn for the Devil In Miss Jones matinee at the Kiva Portofino Round-Up Drive In.
 
But didn't YOU say Taz would have gone FM ten years ago? The Nurse and I even provided a link for you to ask him, but all we get is a lame excuse. But good luck on the mid-terms...what are your parents planning for the big H.S. grad?
 
A friend of mine was so excited about announcing he got a Sunday night slot on 1480...I did not have the heart to tell him he could have no listeners. A few weeks after his show launched, he sent out an e-mail urging his friends to listen on-line...
 
--->But good luck on the mid-terms...what are your parents planning for the big H.S. grad?

Thanks for asking, but my daughter graduated last year, full ride at Univ of Virginia.
 
Hmmm...guess you had to think about that one a while. Looks like five days to us!

Anyway, KPHX does have night-time coverage...you just have to live where it goes. If you think that's painful, try KFNN 15~ten with 100 watts and four sticks. YIKES!
 
Didn't see it til just now.

Good things come to those who wait. And, given your rumored service industry job, you probably wait a lot.
 
It doesn't matter the strength of the signal. Every signal has listeners. If it's 10 or 1,000,000 people listening, people will always find good entertainment. Which is just the reason Air America failed, it did not entertain. It beat you over the head with politics plus it tried to hard to change your political affiliation. If you are a good talk host and can entertain an audience of listeners will find you no matter what the power of the station is. I seriously doubt any radio station owners are reading this board, but I bet every owner started somewhere down the line at a radio station. Talent will always be in demand.
 
I love the right wing wackos who claim Air America tries to convert listeners and beat you over the head with their politics... ::)

It's funny that the neo-conservative nazis have perfected this tactic...just yell, scream, and lie long enough and millions of people believe you!
